Making the case for patient-reported outcome measures in big-data rehabilitation research: implications for optimizing patient-centered care.
This article discussed the potential of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) to transform clinical practice. It also provided examples of health systems that use PROMs to guide care and identified barriers to aggregating data from PROMs in conducting health services research. The authors proposed two priority areas which could help advance rehabilitation health services research: standardization of collecting PROMs data in electronic health records and increased partnerships between rehabilitation providers, researchers, and payors.

Pulmonary rehabilitation utilization in older adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, 2003 to 2012.
The authors assessed the trends in pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) utilization and factors associated with its use in older adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). They concluded that utilization of PR during the study period increased only 1.1% in these Medicare beneficiaries with COPD and remained low.

Comprehensive versus consultative rehabilitation services postacute stroke: outcomes differ.
The researchers compared outcomes of veteran patients provided with comprehensive rehabilitation with those provided with consultative rehabilitation services after acute stroke using propensity scores. They found that comprehensive rehabilitation services are associated with greater recovery of physical and cognitive independence, improved home discharge likelihood, and improved 1 yr. survival.
